"we were in dellbrueck as our main base for the exploration of Christmas markets in the opposite. we wanted to go to dinner at night and come over the brewhouse dellbrueck. there are specials daily, and on Wednesday it was carved night so it was packed! the friendly manager spoke English and immediately found us a table. for euros we have a carving with fries and salat as well as a dessert from ice with a kirsch-comonat. in any case they go here when they look for a casual pub to eat!"

"great preparation, but bad quality. we were four in the restaurant, and nothing was done. the meat was super delicate, but that was the only positive, because the taste was unfortunately underground. there were unfortunately only red staroms, from the flesh itself we didn't cost anything. the tellers were dressed sweet, the crimpbutter was a really violent garlic butter, and with two of us rolled 5 TK croquets next to a piece of meat on the much too big teller around. there was nothing, no optics nothing, it was just boring. all in all I see no reason to recommend this restaurant unless they are on garlic butter, then the bode is obligatory!"

"When I first visited the restaurant, I enjoyed it. A friend had taken me in the evening. Today it goes with my enthusiasts towards Bensberg. I am curious how it sounds to us today or to my wife. It is a relatively hot day and hopefully it is a bit shady or pleasantly warm or cool on site after the bus ride. At any rate, a staff member assured me that both the beer garden and the restaurant are comfortable on heat. Ambience When we entered the house we were kindly greeted and got a table in the house as well as a place outdoors shown. Because it was quite pleasant under the sun plan, we stayed outside. It was a good choice – with only three small “dividing”: The car traffic from the road was relatively good to hear (but not to see and smell, because a hedge protected from it, some insects visited us (but also flew on again after a short time and the light was colored relatively red by the roof foil (this is especially to note the photos). But overall we really liked to be in this place or Table on the air. Cleanliness Everything was well maintained. Of course, the sanitary facilities were only accommodated inside the restaurant. As a result, we were able to look at the entire interior (just cozy; because it went through the entire restaurant and from there to the basement via stairs to get to the toilets. Everything was tidy and clean here – but without special equipment. Service The waiter was extremely friendly and positive communicative. For example, he brought the raw meat to us and explained the individual pieces in the offer. He made suggestions for our menu and advised us on the supplements. In doing so, he asked our preferences and urged nothing; on the contrary. He said we could reorder something at any time and rather not order too much. Again and again he looked over, inquired about our satisfaction and further wishes. The map(s) The standard feeds were listed on a clamping board. Additional offers were presented orally. The tasting food mix plate 600g (62.50 € Today three meat parts were provided. A piece of “Skirt-Fleisch” was there. It is also known as crown meat. It belongs in the broadest sense to the interiors. It looks coarse-fiber, relatively grow and dry. But as steak correctly fried also juicy and kernel in taste. The next piece was called "Teres Major". In Germany it is called flat or false fillet or butcher piece. It comes from the shoulder and is also processed as a steak. The third meat came “Hanging Tender” on the plate. There are also some other names like onglet or renal pegs with us. As Gargrad we chose “medium”. For this we chose as supplements: barbecue vegetables (4.50 € potato gratin (4.50 € mushrooms (4.50 € pommes (4.00 € sour cream (1.50 € salsa and a chimichurri sauce are served from the house to the meat as an addition. On the way there was bread (freshly baked with two dips (herbs a la green sauce and humus from chickpeas and some salami and olives. The herbal cream has given us special attention and fits well with bread. Sausage and olives were also fine. The barbecue was a kind of ratatouille and had been baked in the oven. It was well seasoned, but maybe (for me a little soft in the components. Also the potato gratin was (for me a little cooked, but tasty with Parmesan tasted and slightly chessed on the surface. Both dishes were courageously spiced – and I like that. The pommes were covered with herbs and some salt on the surface and thus had tangible support to the potato taste. They were not particularly chessed outside, but solid and inside slightly soft. So good companions. The mushroom vegetables were for me the best of the supplements. It was also strongly spiced and thus combined the “ford and moder aromas” (which I want to feel on mushrooms harmoniously with the spices such as onion and garlic. The pieces of meat were excellently roasted or grilled. They are only slightly salted and can be individually finished at the table with pepper or other salt forks. I have therefore tried some oats as they were served and others changed with pepper or some salt. My conclusion: Good meat really needs little support from other spices. Some salt and a small trace of pepper seem perfect for me. The cooking point “medium” was right for two meats in my eyes. Only at the onglet seems to me to be a bit more raw; for the piece appeared to me on the way to lose its juice and tenderness. In general, the two “upper” varieties have promised me more. They may not be particularly delicate, but they have shown a lot of taste and high juice. For a next visit, I will certainly try Flank and “Alte Kuh”. And for dessert we still tried the parfait (8,50 €). It consisted of a strawberry parfait, a chocolate cream or mousses and pieces of mango and seeds from the pomegranate. The strawberry had relatively little fruit aromas in my eyes. But I liked the chocolate spice very well: It was a dark chocolate and there were still small rasp pieces inside. The mango salad benefited from the apple kernels. The portion was quite large and pleasant in taste – but without a special surprise. Solid and good. Beverages water 1 l (5,00 € Bergisches Landbier 0.3 l vom Fass (3,10 € Cappuccino (2,20 € espresso (1,90 € There are carrots, beer and pils from the barrel and other beers as bottled goods. Cocktails and wines are also on the map. Conclusion 4 – happy again. It tasted us – and we want to taste more meat there. The place seems good for us. (1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – if it results again, 4 – happy again, 5 – absolutely again – after “Kuechenreise” Date of visit: 08/07/2018 – midday – two people [here link]"

"General We ate lunch together with the family. It should be a relaxed day. And I think it worked. In order for us to have a good conversation, I discussed and voted a menu and a beverage guide in advance with the junior boss of the house. Since some participants have to observe incompatibility, the food was matched. No one had to study the map and check the ingredients. Service The house has made sure that we could feel comfortable. Food was applied at appropriate intervals and drinks were refilled. The foods mixed Italian antipasti We are totally tanned by the mixture: the marinated or fried cold vegetables (Paprika, Aubergine, tomato are fun. But also the dressed parts of marine animals (Garnels – Squids convince us. Salami and raw ham always fit. Vitello tonnato is one of my favorite appetizers. The fresh bread. I could already “sat” myself from this alone. But the Italian food fun is a lot of elements. A pasta dish seems to me to be “poor”. Casarecce with basil dumpesto and pine nuts The pasta was of course al dente. The pestosauce was refreshing and roasted pine cores actually refine any dish. For gluten sensitive, there were alternate penne. Also in the selection of bread there were varieties with corresponding ingredients. Lammkoteletts from the grill – Bimi Brokkoli and La Ratte Potatoes In addition to the fine beef and veal dishes, I have always been done by the lamb spiders. That's why I wanted lamb chops for everyone. However, the children had pizzas, carvings, pommes and pasta for choice. Dessert by choice: lukewarm chocolate cakes, mixed ice cream, sorbet, tartuffo ice cream, fruit Also here people could access wonderful sorbet variants with incompatibility. Others chose chocolate cubes with liquid core and other cream-ice varieties and fruits. Beverages Aperitif: Prosecco DOC Cabert Friuli Venezia Giulia White Wine: Soave Classico Calvarno DOC Pieropan Veneto Red Wine: Campo Sireso Rosso Veronese IGT Az. Agr. Ottella Veneto Dessert Wine: Moscato d'Asti „Nivole“ DOCG Michele Chiarlo Piemont Stilles Water Mineral Water Medium Apple Chole, Apple Juice, Orange Juice Espresso In the drinks I had advised and acquitted in advance by the Junior-Chefin. Prosecco is always good. This was also hostile and refreshing. Red and white wine has already convinced us during previous visits. And the Moscata fits well with desserts. The Osteria has an extensive drink card and therefore there is never boredom. We like to listen to the tips of the house. Conclusion 4 – happy again (1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – if it turns out again, 4 – happy again, 5 – absolutely again – after “Kuechenreise” Date of visit: 18.05.2023 – midday – 12 people [here link]"

"We booked a table for here one Saturday night recently. By the place was already packed and they were doing a roaring trade. As soon as we sat down one of the busy waitresses came to take our drinks order. The drinks came...very quickly. We then felt under a little time pressure to place our order for our dinner. We certainly needed more time to choose from the very extensive menu than the busy ladies were expecting. And when we had finally chosen, the food came very quickly. I had tzatziki and Kalamata olives to enjoy for my first course followed by baby squids and a side salad as the main course. We appreciated the free glasses of iced Ouzo so much so that we ordered more later in the evening. Service throughout was quick and ultra efficient. We got though quite a few rounds of Kölsch beer and each round came quickly. As the other diners dispersed the atmosphere got less hectic up until the point that we were the very last customers to leave. And our last round of drinks was on the house. That was a nice gesture."
